Sarah Palin Responds to Levi’s Johnston

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rivalries, Rumors

Levi Johnston has been getting a fair amount of press attention, a lot of it due to his association with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. You see, he’s going to bare it all in Playgirl and he happened to be the one to knock up Palin’s oldest daughter.

If that wasn’t enough, he’s made a few incendiary comments to the media recently regarding his dear, nearly mother-in-law. On a recent Early Show appearance, Levi called Palin’s song Trig “retarded,” (he’s got Down’s syndrome) and later added that he, Levi, could get Palin “in trouble and could hurt her.” Oh, do tell.

Kate Gosselin Wins Round 1

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rivalries, Where Are They Now?

Everything that’s been going on thus far was merely a warm-up to the real Jon and Kate Gosselin war, which got underway this week in court. So far, Kate’s ahead thanks to a ruling made by Judge Arthur R. Tilson.

For now, Jon Gosselin has been ordered to return $180,000 of the $235,000 he’s withdrawn from the joint bank account. According to Kate Gosselin lawyer Mark Momjian, Jon has to pony up the dough by October 26. “As difficult as this has been for me, I am pleased that the court has ruled fairly on behalf of myself and my children,” said Kate.

Let’s just pause for a second and really think about the staggering sum of $235,000, an amount which many Americans don’t earn even two years’ of work. As a matter of fact, the average firefighter/EMT earned approximately $47,000 annually in 2003…and they save lives.

Tracy Morgan Disses Former SNLers in New Book

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Rivalries

This Thursday’s return of 30 Rock isn’t the only thing Tracy Morgan fans should be looking forward to. Next week’s release of the comedian’s new book, I Am the New Black, promises to give us more backstage group than the fictional NBC program could provide.

In the autobiography, Morgan talks about his years on Saturday Night Live and is more than candid about those he liked and disliked. Part of what can be heard on an audio recording of the book is apparently an ad-libbed version of what is on the page. Either way, you might not think about former late-night players Cheri Oteri and Chris Kattan the same way again.

Jon Gosselin: Sorry, Kate

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Break-ups, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Rivalries, Rumors

“Kate, I just want to apologize, you know for my actions.” These are the words Jon Gosselin will speak tonight to Mary Hart on his ET segment. “Now, I have to take the initiative. Let’s both go together, let’s both mediate this thing out.”

I believe “this thing” refers to his recent fallout with TLC, the cable network that made he and estranged wife Kate reality celebrities. Jon Gosselin went apes**t, if you’ll pardon the expression, when Jon and Kate became Kate Plus 8, signifying the new direction of the show. He posted a sign on his property forbidding the camera crews to do their job and made incendiary remarks through his legal representative, igniting a media firestorm that’s been watched anxiously.

Want to hear the rest? Watch the interview tonight…or, catch it later on YouTube.

Kim Kardashian Broods, Blogs

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies, Rants, Rivalries

Reality star and socialite Kim Kardashian is desperate for a baby.

The E! darling, whose sister Kourtney Kardashian is expecting her first child with partner Scott Disick, admits that shopping for her unborn niece or nephew has made her broody.

She wrote on her blog, “I want a baby!!!! OK, so maybe not right now, but I can’t wait to be an aunt!”

Kourtney has previously said that she is not sure whether she wants to find out the sex of her child before the birth, but Kim is adamant she should: “It’s really fun, but we have to stay neutral when you’re shopping for a baby and you don’t know what the sex of the baby is. I found that really hard… I just wanted to shop for pink or blue, haha! I want Kourt and Scott to find out already (sic)!!”

Kourtney, 30, revealed she was pregnant last month, and was unsure how her 28-year-old sister would react as Kim always wanted to be the first one to have kids. “I don’t think she’s envious. Who knows though—Kim gets mad if I get the car that she wants… she like freaks out! But she definitely thought it was going to be her first, trust me!” she said.

Jon and Kate…and Hailey Glassman, Victim

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Break-ups, Dating, Divorce, Hook-ups, Rivalries, Rumors

“I’ve been the sacrificial lamb in this situation,” Hailey Glassman, 22, said in a recent interview. She’s been dating Jon Gosselin, estranged husband to Kate, and as such she’s been near the center of a brutal media storm. “Before all this, I was happy-go-lucky.”

“I have lost my happiness through this all.” Glassman is the daughter to a plastic surgeon, who just happens to be the guy who did Kate Gosselin’s tummy tuck. According to various interviews, Jon was staying at the good doctor’s home during his marital troubles and Hailey was home for the summer. The hookup ensued - but, Glassman says, after the couple had split up.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Rivalries, Rumors, Where Are They Now?

New York entrepreneur JE Englebert plans to rally for blogger Perez Hilton, allegedly assaulted in a recent altercation with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

The club owner plans to host an event where Hilton will be the guest of honor - if he shows up - at Suzie Wong. The rally is meant “to show love, not hate,” according to Englebert. “Guess what is on the menu at the event?” He asked in a statement. “I plan on serving pea soup.”

Candy Spelling Fires Another Shot in Family Feud

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Rivalries, Rumors

Just when you thought the media gossip was drying down, Spelling matriarch Candy has fired another bullet in her media back-and-forth with daughter Tori. All of this, mind you, is part of Candy Spelling’s book promotion - or, so I suspect.

Spelling conducted a radio interview, purportedly to tout her Stories From Candyland, and ended up dragging Tori Spelling through the proverbial mud. “My daughter one day decided that she wasn’t speaking to my husband, myself and my son, and that’s how it’s continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years.”

Sure, that’s not the nicest thing to say…but Candy wasn’t done by a long shot. “That’s what killed my husband, actually,” she continued, referring to TV mogul Aaron Spelling. “He just didn’t want to live after that.” Spelling passed away in June of 2006, leaving the bulk of his fortune to Candy.

Terri Seymour attacker Janice Thibodeaux pleads not guilty

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues, Rivalries

Looks like the woman accused of attacking Terri Seymour has pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against her. Janice Thibodeaux was charged with misdemeanour battery and assault yesterday morning following her altercation with Seymour, the ex-girlfriend of Simon Cowell, and appeared in court to answer the claims.

A Los Angeles judge set her bail at $20,000. She is due to appear in court again on June 4. If convicted of misdemeanour battery, Thibodeaux faces a maximum six months in county jail and a fine of $2,000. The misdemeanour assault charge carries a maximum one year prison term and $10,000 fine. Thibodeaux is accused of assaulting Seymour outside Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, the site of where Cowell’s TV show American Idol was being filmed on Tuesday.

It has been claimed the music mogul has ordered his personal security team to protect Seymour until she feels safe again. Police claim Thibodeaux asked Seymour if she was still dating Cowell - who she split from last November after a six-year relationship - and then tried to choke her. However, Thibodeaux has revealed she was unhappy with Cowell’s behaviour towards his fellow ‘American Idol’ judge. She told a US website: “I wasn’t cool with Simon Cowell choking Paula Abdul on the show last week and with her crying-out ‘help’ as he did so. Nobody said anything about that so I wanted to confront him about it because that is not appropriate behavior, is it?”
